Avocado Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

Part of my healthy eating strategy, avocodos are the perfect base for a variety of smoothie recipes!

Start your day right with a flavourful, healthy avocado breakfast smoothie! I recently discovered avocados for the first time, and I must say I’ve fallen in love with these awesome things. They are so versatile, can be used in recipes ranging from sweet to savoury and they are packed full of nutrients, including: healthy fats, amino acids, protein and a whole host of essential vitamins and minerals!

Aside from guacamole, one of my favourite ways to eat avocados is actually in a drink. I love starting my day with an avocado breakfast smoothie, and I have a few favourite avocado breakfast smoothie recipes to share with you today. All three of the recipes below are quick and easy to pull together, and they are even kid-approved; my four year old will drink them, so long as he doesn’t see me put the “green slime” in first (although, you’d think a little boy would appreciate a little green slime in his drink, right? 😉 )

Step one: pick a smoothie

Just toss all ingredients into the blender and purée until smooth for a quick and healthy breakfast!

Banana Berry Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

½ ripe avocado

1 medium banana

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries

½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt (optional)

1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk *

Chocolate Peanut Butter Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

½ ripe avocado

1 medium banana

¼ cup smooth sugar free / salt free peanut butter

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp honey

½ cup plain unsweetened yogurt (optional)

1 ½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk *

* Feel free to substitute other types of milk if you’re not into almond milk. Cow’s milk will work just fine if you’re not lactose intolerant.

Tropical Sunrise Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

½ ripe avocado

1 medium banana

1 cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries

1 kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped

1 ½ cups orange juice

Step two: purée

Place all ingredients into a blender and purée your avocado breakfast smoothie until smooth. Pour into two glasses and serve.
